Hello all! I’m looking for a Lightning XB9 or an XB12. Despite being 6’ and old and fat, I still want one. Anything out there? Cheers Nigel |

Thanks for the reply. Looking at specs, the long has an extra 2” on the wheelbase. Would it make that much difference? My height is made up of short legs and long body and arms

Brilliant analogy In my case it would be an orangutan. Nobody is selling an XB near me so I can’t even go look. Southampton Harley Davidson said they have not had a Buell for a very long time. |

My height or lack of it is made up of a short body and short legs and my xb 12 still looks small under me. Trust me on this a long would be more suited. |
